I have a TP-Link TL-WR841N, and I'm quite certain it is possible to hook up as a wireless repeater (client bridge), but it appears my settings aren't jiving between the two routers. I have a Linksys WRT150N (Router #1) running as the main router, and I would like to wireless bridge the TP-Link (Router #2) to it to expand my wireless coverage.
I'm running the stock firmware, and I'd like to keep it that way, as I'm pretty sure it's possible with it, and I don't want to risk bricking either router in the process. Beyond that, DD-WRT isn't even available on the 841, because it's a ver.8.
Router #2 has a WDS bridge setting, and I can see Router #1 when I use the survey function. I've tried messing with the LAN IP's, making sure the channels are the same, and turning off DHCP on router #2, turning off all security, but it appears that the two won't connect to each other, so I think I'm just not understanding which IP settings go where.
Router #1 has DHCP on, and the IP of it is the default linksys 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.100-149). What does the router #2 settings need to look like to get internet thru it? Do I need to have something in the virtual server of router #2?
